The Electric Charge and Magnetization Distribution of the Nucleon: Evidence of a Subatomic Turing Wave Pattern

Subquantum kinetics, a physics methodology that applies general systems theoretic concepts
to the field of microphysics has gained the status of being a viable unified field theory.
Earlier publications of this theory had proposed that a subatomic particle should consist of an
electrostatic field that has the form of a radial Turing wave pattern whose form is maintained
through the ongoing activity of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion medium that fills all space.
This subatomic Turing wave prediction now finds confirmation in recent nucleon scattering
form factor data which show that the nucleon core has a Gaussian charge density distribution
with a peripheral periodicity whose wavelength approximates the particle's Compton
wavelength and which declines in amplitude with increasing radial distance. The subquantum
kinetics explanation for the origin of charge correctly anticipates the observation that the
proton's charge density wave pattern is positively biased while the neutron's is not. The
phenomenon of beta decay is interpreted as the onset of a secondary bifurcation leading from
the uncharged neutron solution to the charged proton solution. The Turing wave dissipative
structure prediction is able to account in a unitary fashion for nuclear binding, particle diffraction,
and electron orbital quantization. The wave packet model is shown to be fundamentally
flawed implying that quantum mechanics does not realistically represent the microphysical
world. This new conception points to the possible existence of orbital energy states below the
Balmer ground state whose transitions may be tapped as a new source of energy.
